Cronos: The New Dawn is an Unreal Engine 5-powered survival horror game that runs smoothly on modern hardware, including RTX 40 series cards. The game has several performance issues, for which we have carefully tuned the settings to compensate for the reduced frame rate.

Gamers with the RTX 4060 and both the 8 GB and 16GB iterations of RTX 4060 Ti should stick to 1080p only. Higher-tier GPUs, such as the RTX 4070, can opt for 1440p. But if there is a problem with the framerate, or the frame time graph is inconsistent, then dial it down to 1080p.

Starting with the RTX 4070 Super, we have a GPU that is extremely capable at 1440p. The settings below can also be dialed in at 4K from the RTX 4080 tier cards. That said, if there is room for more improvement, then use these settings as a starting point and customize according to your visual and tonal preferences.

Based on what this game is, a survival horror, our settings go for absolute performance. The game already has a gloomy environment, and the fewer the effects, the better your visibility will be.
